KSK Kares Update: Holy Crap

Jesus H., people. I thought KSK Kares had a reasonable chance of hitting $10,000 for Fight Gone Bad by the end of the week, but I obviously underestimated the spirit of generosity among the readership. Or your bloodthirsty desire to see video of me dying while wearing hot pink stripper shorts. Whatever, the bottom line is that it’s for a good cause.

Anyway, to update you on the official tally: we went from zero to nearly $7000 in the span of 36 hours, which has catapulted me to the #1 individual fundraiser for Fight Gone Bad and my hometown CrossFit South Brooklyn to the #2 overall gym. That kind of support is both astounding and preposterous, and I thank you for it. And just as soon as Fight Gone Bad contacts me about the free iPad…

…then I will send it off to KSK reader Sanjay M., who made a remarkable and generous donation of $650. I will try to forward the iPad on to him without getting too many fingerprints on it first.

I’ll announce another winner tomorrow, but for now the frontrunner looks to be Taylor B., who mistakenly paid rent to my donation page. To everyone else who isn’t wealthy: every little bit pushes me closer to public humiliation, so keep the 5-, 10-, and 20-dollar donations coming. Also, a reminder: $150 gets you books and drinks at my apartment. And yes, if there’s booze in it, I can make it and make it well.

Finally, I happen to know that exactly 82 awesome people have donated so far, and yet KSK averages about 30,000 readers a day. STOP HOLDING OUT, SCROOGE.

Ok, I’m in now, wish it could be more. And I’m going with lime green for the hot pants.

Also, 1,751 people on facebook “like” KSK. If all of them donate only $5, bam $8755.

I have a request to go along with my meager donation. In addition to the ball revealing shorts, could you wear a midriff cutoff t shirt. I feel this will complete you’re humiliation. Plus, you owe us a puke from last year.

*donates $150, drives to Brooklyn* *sits at bar, asks for a Manhattan*

DG: [taking first sip] Mmm. That’s the stuff.
Matt: Thanks, and thanks again for the generous donation.
DG: Oh, no problem.

[extended awkward silence]

DG: So, uh… seriously, how do I get my girlfriend to do anal?
Matt: [facepalm]

Donation complete….sorry I couldn’t spare additional booze money. Love the site, love the content, and love that we can find away to give back a little.

Can you donate anonymously? I see there’s a big list of everyone who donated on that page, I’d like to stay off it if possible.

@Danger

I see we had similar thoughts on how the evening would proceed.

I’m happy to help out again this year. I keep hoping that I’ll run into Matt in Brooklyn and he’ll be so taken with my extraordinary personal magnetism that he’ll invite me over for drinks. Hey, it could happen!

I love that Peter King gave $20. The fact that you didn’t send him an iPad in return will probably appear under the heading “Interesting/Aggravating Charitable Donations That Probably Interest Only Me”

Damn Matt, 8548. That’s great hustle and it feels good to contribute even just a little bit. Also, is there a mesh option for those shorts? If so, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE WAITING FOR??

@Jodax – I don’t know if there is a mesh option, but I like where your head’s at. As luck would have it, it seems Matt might have an in with the company. I think he did a bit of modeling for them in the past:
